Blayzer's 28 Gal EcoSystem Mini

[BlazinNano]

Alright figured I should post up a thread. So far from all the forums out there I have not seen anyone with this tank.I am sure there are people with the tank but no threads about them. Which is cool and sucks. Cool because it makes it unique, sucks because I have no one to compare with or talk about the tank with. This might be because of the price of the tank new, around $800 w/o lights. I got it from a store that was downsizing for $300 w/o the light. So here is the breakdown.

Equipment
28 Gallon EcoSystem Mini Refuge Model
Current Sunpod 150W HQI MH - 14K
Seaclone 50 Gallon HOB Skimmer Modified
Stock return pump (280 gph)
2 Koralia Nanos and 1 MJ900 powerheads

Fish
2 Skunk Clowns
1 Fairy Wrasse
1 Blue Chromis

Corals
ALOT! where to start

Chalices - Big Pimpin, Lime In The Sky, Rasta, Green (unknown), Red (unknown), blue/purple (unknown)

Zoas/Palys - Hawaiian Ding Dang PE, Orange PE, Purple Deaths, grean Flames, Jap DW, Paly Grandis, a lot more that I dont know the names of.

LPS - Micro and Blastomussa, Acans, Favia, Candy Canes, Duncan, Frogspawn, Hammer, Torch, and Suncoral

Beautiful as always, please keep me in mind when "you know which" gets to be big enough to "you know what". Didn't you have a rainsford goby at one point? I was thinking of getting one when the jawfish starves itself to death.

 

[BlazinNano]

I did but he went MIA. You will know it get big enough to do what needs to be done.

 

[akabryanhall]

Word, Sorry about your fish, did he eat algae?

 

[BlazinNano]

I only had him 3 days before going MIA. I do remember him eating mysis. According to LiveAquaria the jawfish is a carnivore. Try feeding when the lights are off and everyone is a little more calm. That is how I had to feeD my Cardinal fish. He would not eat with the lights on but with them off he would. But my wrasse will not eat with the lights off, he will only eat with the lights on. Once the lights go off he hides. So try splitting the food up.

Right on thanks for the advice!

Nice new chalice too - I have seen it before but forget what people call it.

 

[akabryanhall]

I will have to find a pic of him tomorrow but my Fairy Wrasse went carpet surfing today. I have had him in the tank since Feb. He was a cool fish. Can't believe I have 28 gallons and a whopping 2 fish now.

Well my ATO switch decided to get stuck and the pump ran all night. I woke up to a tank that was almost overflowing. The top off added 5 gallons of Kalk/Freshwater to the tank. I immediately sucked out about 5 gallons. Went to WWC and got 5 gallons of saltwater. I did a water change. Tried to get most of the walk out. The tank is cloudy but everythig seems to be fine.

 

[El Camaron]

wow man good thing you were able to rescue it from complete disaster, keep us posted.

Everything is doing good. Nothing freaked out. I got my new MH bulb on thurs. I got a 150W HQI 14K AquaMaxx. I really like the bulb. It is bluer and crisper then the stock bulb that came with the Current fixture. I have noticed that the chalice I got a week or two ago looks nicer. Parts of the chalice had a very very faint hint of blue but where almost brown like it had not colored up. Not it is more blue so I think I will have a beautiful chalice soon. All of my colors look a lot better. I also got a new fish last week from WWC. I got a Hector Goby. He is a cool little guy. He hides more then I like but he comes out about 60% of the time. Other then that nothing new. I will try to get some new pics up but they wont be that great. Dont have a nice camera. Just a point and shoot.
